I have a large bio load in this particular tank. And If I slack (even in the slightest) on my weekly maintenance… I get a bloom. This tank contains 20 fish total. I have cut down the amount of fish I have in this tank, unfortunately.. there are a few that I couldnt’ catch to […]
I would like to agree with you, if you get an algae bloom when you slack on tank cleaning. It sounds like the algae is a good thing though even if it looks bad because it is using up the waste from the fish. You could try adding easy to grow plants to the tank, […]
I have a question that seems to baffle me. I recently switched my tanks around. I put my 4 goldfish in one of my 55g and the 2 Koi in another 55g. They were all in the 150g. The 2 Koi are being sold so the 55 is their temp home. Both 55g are […]
I had already read the wiki on them and realized the same thing LOL. But thanks Lenny. I found their scientific name finally and found a site with better info on these fish (and they even sell them, LOL). http://www.btdarters.com/pages/pricelist.html They are the Rainbow Darter (/Etheostoma caeruleum/), at the bottom […]

Looks like there’s a few hundred species just in N. America so you’d need to find out the species name to find out more about the preferences of the species.
I know the “Snail Darter” made headlines off and on for the past thirty years or so as the tree-huggers shut down some major development, the […]
Hi Pam, What size are the filters for your pond (especially your biofilter), and what is the makeup of the biofilter?? Having enough bio-filtration for the size of pond and fish load is one of the most important things for having a good, livable environment for the fish. If you have enough bio-filtration […]
I’ve had success in the same environment you describe. However one day it will go sour & then it’s pretty much back to square one. At least that was my experience, it took about 2 years to do so.

Definitely try Aquabid. I’ve used them a lot in the past and when I get my new kitchen aquarium set up I’m eyeing up some plants myself on there.
Keep in mind that even though you’ve heard plants don’t do well in a UG tank, the plants I have here are doing fantastic in my […]

Hmm, well I’d say that next time you should silicone them to the bottom of the tank, but then they’re not move-able at all… Perhaps you could silicone them to a flat rock?
